I haven't written a poetry piece in long time... one that would be coherent and finished, that is.... I done this today. Oddly, after very relaxing weekend when I done lots of "human" things as drinking on the river bank and walking to places to have fun, drink and enjoy spring, rather than to protest there and be all serious.



But then I create something as dark and effed up in a way as this... I am scaring myself at times, I swear.


may contain major triggers....



If I don’t make it out alive
pour some glitter on my grave
and remember that I was good
I was stunning, I was brave
Remember me for what I were
don’t mourn what I might have been
send my love to all good people
and burry my heart in Ukraine
Is there some hope left for us?
Skies burn like white phosphorous
If our history turns into dust
would the world go on without us?
I remind myself that I’m still free
but not sure how long it will last
Glitter on my eyes represents my tears
for our future and our past
And if tomorrow the whole world will burn
From the fire that sparked over here
Please remember, we fought for you as well
we stood up to the ones you fear
Glory to the heroes among us
We’ll glow like white phosphorous
but shooting stars burn and turn to dust
and you don’t want to fight for us
I wear glitter and traditions
I wear flowers in my hair
I walk quietly and speak of the dark things
But you don’t listen and you don’t care
I have heard and seen too much
to sleep calmly in the night
but I just hope you will notice us
and find a way to make things right….
Would you at least pray for us?
Before our dreams turn to dust…
Will the world be still here even without us?
Or will it burn like white phosphorous?

Beautiful! You are stunning indeed. Thank you for sharing.

It's very, very nice, and sad.

It's unlikely the whole world will burn any time soon, I really believe that. I think it's a horrible, horrible show, but just a show. For domestic consumption. There's no fragile power balance. No alliances that are strongly based on blind ideology, conflicting delusions, if you will.

NATO is divided. There's no extreme paranoia. Clinton will do nothing drastic (though that might be a problem, there's still the threat).

It's sad how countries are sacrificed, but that's how it works.

Syria and Iraq are bigger problems. But rather contained. Many countries in Eastern Europe think they can afford to stall EU negotiations. They don't seem frightened. Maybe foolishly so, but the EU is toothless but will be protected. Many European countries can use migrants, many Syrians are well-educated.

It could be far, far worse.

But be a hero. You can be and be successful because there are no high stakes, in the "greater" scheme of things.

There should be more outrage among people in general. More awareness of antisocial oligarchs and their poster boys. But no us and them. People should feel united, feel like they can make a difference, that the world is run not just for a profit. That's why, for all those reasons, the EU is highly problematic. It makes people here care less, not more, powerless, and others feel threatened. It's used as an excuse. It's all show. Europe isn't united in reality, but just the façade creates opportunity to justify keeping people distracted and fearful. They think sacrifices are necessary. Fear can make people into monsters.

People should really see how they're coerced, medicated and soothed in submission.

Let us be a vanguard of sorts, but not by outright opposition. The enemy is within. Here and everywhere. And most of what we see is a show to distract us from what's really going on. It's a puppet show. Dictators are opposed if it's convenient. Dissent stirred up. Lots of suffering ensues.

It's so very treacherous, so very deadly. So very sad.

This is what should be exposed, that we are fooled. If we can't be fooled, even though we might not understand what exactly is wrong, how it works, even though we draw the wrong conclusions, we are isolated, stigmatised and medicated, grouped together with people that try to make our situation seem acceptable, because they are just enough like us and just enough like everyone else.

It doesn't matter if anyone deliberately, consciously orchestrates this, probably not, but what matters is that it happens. Like instinct. To stall progress. To not having to see unsettling truths. To speak of enlightenment, but keep us in the dark.
